2011 Chrysler 300C spied undisguised

Our spies have managed to catch the 2011 Chrysler 300C undisguised during a photo shoot.

Looking more elegant than ever before, the car features LED-infused headlights, a new grille, and prominent wheel arches. Out back, there's an integrated spoiler, distinctive taillights, and lots of chrome detailing on the front bumper, grille, reveal moldings, side mirror housings, door handles and rear bumper.

While our sleuths didn't get close enough to snap interior pictures, Chrysler has previously released a rendering of the cabin which showed an improved design with higher quality materials.

Under the hood, engine options will include a 3.6-liter V6 and a 5.7-liter V8. Official specifications haven't been released, but the V6 will likely produce 283 hp (211 kW / 287 PS) and 260 lb-ft (352 Nm) while the V8 will churn out 379 hp (283 kW / 384 PS) and 410 lb-ft (555 Nm) of torque. Later on, an SRT8 version will debut with a 6.4-liter V8 packing 470 hp (350 kW / 477 PS) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque.

The car will likely be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show, so expect to learn more in the coming months.
